Chapter 600: The Transformation Art

It was such a pity that he had not killed Tie Chengfeng. Di Jiu had not been aware that Tie Chengfeng came from the Void Mountain. If he had known, he would not have let this fellow off no matter what.

He would certainly have been in trouble after killing Tie Chengfeng. However, this trouble was nothing compared to Xu Baishang discovering that he had arrived in the Dao World.

After being vexed for some time, Di Jiu immediately pushed these thoughts aside. Tie Chengfeng would not come anytime soon. Di Jiu had to enter the Dao Ridge first.

…

Di Jiu was vexed that he had not killed Tie Chengfeng. On the other hand, Tie Chengfeng regretted not confirming Di Jiu’s strength before finding him rashly. At the moment, he was worried that Di Jiu would find him. He had come out of the Dao Ridge feeling terrified and anxious. Why would he dare to stay there?

Even though he had said that he wanted to tell the Void Mountain Master, this had been just a method he had used to save his life. Many small divine corners like the Fire Towering Divine Corner were under the rule of the Void Mountain. Even if Tie Chengfeng was the Castle Lord of the Fire Towering Divine Corner, he still would not be able to meet the Void Mountain Master at will, nor did he have that right at all.

Unless the Void Mountain Master issued an arrest warrant for Di Jiu first, Tie Chengfeng dared not meet him for such a small matter if he wanted to live.

In fact, when Di Jiu had been trapped between the two realms, the current Mountain Master of the Void Mountain, Xu Baishang, had known that Di Jiu could not come out. Therefore, he naturally would not issue this arrest warrant. At the moment, just as Di Jiu had guessed, Xu Baishang was in his fake Void Mountain, frantically recuperating and restoring his strength.

…

Five days passed in an instant. Because of Tie Chengfeng, Di Jiu did not leave the inn at all in those five days and put all his time into creating his disguise. Without a good disguise, he could only use his Nomological Dao to disguise himself.

Being targeted by Xu Baishang was not a laughing matter.

In just five days, Di Jiu had formed a different opinion about his disguise. According to his original concept, a disguise was only used to change a cultivator’s appearance while a deeper level of disguise could change a cultivator’s aura. Since Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, his appearance was also a display of the Heaven Earth Law. He had even suspected that the Big Dipper Earth Fiend Transformation Art in Chinese legends had switched one’s physique through a change in the law.

If he could master such a terrifying technique one day, it would no longer be a disguise technique but a true Transformation Art.

This was a true top-notch divine power that would not even be any poorer than his nomological escape technique. Unfortunately, he only had five days and he had yet to analyze anything.

On the day that the Dao Ridge was going to open, Di Jiu arrived at the entrance very early. He was seriously worried that Pang Ying b*tch would abandon him.

As expected, Di Jiu saw Pang Ying when he got there. The woman was even earlier than him.

When Pang Ying saw Di Jiu coming over, she turned her head to the other side on purpose. She would really have gone in with Shao Rongqin first if Di Jiu had been any later than this. As for calling Di Jiu, that would definitely have been impossible for her. She had not expected that Di Jiu would be paying attention to this place at all times. One moment she had arrived, and the next moment, Di Jiu had arrived.

As for who had obtained this Dao Ridge jade card, she had chosen to ignore that a long time ago.

“Senior Sister Pang, are you entering the Dao Ridge with Senior Brother Shao this time?” A clear voice was heard before a female Dao Modeling cultivator walked over.

Pang Ying replied with a sigh, “It’s you, Junior Sister Yu Xi. I actually planned to enter with Senior Brother Rongqin, but someone from the sect entrusted me with someone else, so I have to bring an outer sect disciple with me.”

The female Dao Modeling cultivator’s gaze landed on Di Jiu, who stood near Pang Ying. As she was about to say something on behalf of Pang Ying, a voice suddenly said, “This should be Alchemy Deity Di, right? Oh, that’s right. You were in the top 20 of the Elixir River Competition this time. You should have obtained a Dao Ridge Enlightenment jade card. How come you’re going in alone? You can bring two other people with you.”

It was a woman with a scarf on her face. Even though she was wearing a scarf, her charm made all women pale in comparison. Her figure alone made her an extremely beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman who had spoken made a good impression on Di Jiu. She could clearly see his situation, so she had helped by speaking on his behalf.

He nodded. “Yes. It’s just that this jade card is not with me right now. Pang Ying from the Spring Evolution Valley has it. I can only follow her and enter the Dao Ridge with her.”

“Oh…” The woman responded before she looked at Pang Ying oddly.

When the surrounding people heard this, they also looked at Pang Ying oddly. The jade card was obviously Di Jiu’s. Now that it had been given to Pang Ying and Di Jiu only wanted to follow her in, Pang Ying had said that he had been entrusted to her. This woman simply had no sense of shame.

Pang Ying’s face turned very red. She had not expected that someone would recognize Di Jiu and know that her Dao Ridge jade card was his. Now that this had been revealed, everyone would understand. At that moment, she only hoped the Dao Ridge would open early and that she would enter it quickly.

Pang Ying was more furious than Shao Rongqin, who was by her side. He unexpectedly took the initiative to greet the woman with the scarf on her face. “First Evolution Dao Sect’s Shao Rongqin greets you, Senior Sister Yu Qianxi.”

Not only did Shao Rongqin go up to greet her, but everyone else also did so one after another. It was evident that You Qianxi was very popular, or at least more popular than Pang Ying.

Yu Qianxi greeted them all and then said with a faint smile, “Junior Brother Shao, you are very polite. I heard that there has been a top-notch genius in the First Evolution Dao Sect recently.”

Shao Rongqin, who was shocked, subconsciously replied, “A top-notch genius? Is it Senior Brother Jin Zhuohang?”

Yu Qianxi shook her head. “It’s not him. I heard that he is the one with the strongest survival capability in the Vast Ruins in the entire Dao World.”

“Isn’t that Eternal Court Sacred Dao City’s Senior Brother Bai Changyi?” Shao Rongqin hurriedly answered.

When Yu Qianxi heard Shao Rongqin’s words, she knew that he did not know who this person was either. She then was skeptical about Mo Yejiu’s words in the past. If the First Evolution Dao Sect really had such a genius disciple, how come the people of the sect were unaware?

Di Jiu was shocked, as he was absolutely sure that he was the person Yu Qianxi had mentioned. Why was she checking on him?

At first, he had wanted to go over to speak with Yu Qianxi. However, after he heard her checking on him, he immediately dismissed this thought.

“The Dao Ridge is now open. Cultivators with the Dao Ridge jade card, form groups of three and enter the Dao Ridge in order. I hope everyone can obtain endless opportunities at the Dao Ridge and validate their Dao…” An abrupt voice interrupted everyone’s discussions and greetings.

The venue then quietened down and the array door before Di Jiu suddenly opened. Everyone formed groups of three and flocked into the Dao Ridge.

One jade card could allow three people to enter. Thus, nobody would waste it.

When Di Jiu followed Pang Ying and entered through the Dao Ridge array door, Pang Ying and Shao Rongqin quickly escaped without informing Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not care about them either. He could sense a kind of ancient vicissitude and a thick motley historical aura.

With his eyes closed, he could even hear the previously-remnant war explosions. All kinds of divine power auras and Dao rune auras mingled together. It was very hard to differentiate clearly between what he needed and what he did not.

No matter how strong Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was, he could only sense it for a while. Before Yu Qianxi could walk over, Di Jiu extended his body and rushed into the boundless Dao Ridge immediately.

Regardless of why Yu Qianxi had wanted to interact with him, he still did not wish to meet her. His cultivation level was a bit too low, so it was better to interact less with these genius disciples.

Yu Qianxi, who walked toward Di Jiu, stopped in her tracks. She had not expected him to leave suddenly. However, she did not think that he had left after seeing her. Her clothes could isolate any Spiritual Force. Even if Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force unintentionally scanned her, he would not notice her.

It was a pity that she had not conversed with Di Jiu face to face yet. Di Jiu was from the First Evolution Dao Sect but he had actually ranked in the top 20 at the Elixir River Competition. She had also participated in that competition and she was a Dao Birth Alchemy Deity recognized by the Elixir Association. However, she had only ranked 103rd.

This made her even more curious about Di Jiu. She wanted to discover his true background.
